Advancements in sun care protection are hot as researchers continue to seek more effective and longer-lasting sunscreens.
Wearing sunscreen is an important part of keeping summer fun from coming back to haunt you later. Not only can sunscreen keep you from burning, it can help prevent skin cancer later in life.
Most sunscreen agents lose their effectiveness and break down as they are exposed to the sun. The breakdown in sunscreen is unstoppable, because of the natural reaction between UV rays and sunscreens, but it can be minimized.
To test UVB sunscreens’ lasting ability, the FDA requires the use of solar simulators. However, these simulators have proven to be a weak method in analyzing a formula’s ability to last in natural sunlight. Although difficult and time consuming, in-sun testing is the best proven method to test photostability-how a formula withstands sunlight. Currently, only one sun care researcher is known to perform both simulated and in-sun testing.
By using both forms of testing, Florida-based Hawaiian Tropic has been able to produce formulas that offer broad-spectrum protection and don’t break down in the sun as...
